Chances are, most of us (that have hair anyway) use plastic combs. They're cheaper and, well, they're combs. What's there to improve on, right? According to Man Made DIY, a wooden comb comes with plenty of benefits. Plus you can make your own!

Wooden combs, in addition to looking mighty fancy, do not generate any static like their plastic brethren. The fibers in the wood also help to spread the natural oils around for healthier hair. The biggest downside to a wooden comb is that they can be pricier than the plastic one you bought in a six pack for $3, however Instructables has a guide on how to make your own wooden comb. Obviously, making your own comb out of wood is going to require some shop skills and tools that you may not have handy, but if you can swing it, you'll have a classy comb that will last a long time.
